Traveller notes on Visby in April
Other months in Visby
Early June gets you Gotland at its best and its emptiest — the forum rates late May and early June as when nature peaks and the crowds have not arrived, with weather notably better than the rest of the Scandinavian peninsula and less rain. Eighteen hours of daylight, 21°C days. The catch is that quite a few restaurants and cafés do not open until mid-June, so early June trades company for closures. The other timing note: Visby's Medieval Week — authentic dress, feasts and jousting inside the 13th-century walls — is an August event, not a June one.
